You don't think they add to the rumors so it is more interesting than what other contributors are reporting. The TSN executives are just loving it- rating equal money.
I think that while they do probably exaggerate a lot, their information is still very accurate if you learn to look past that stuff (which only comes from experience). They are also one of the most knowledgeable teams out there, especially more than the sportsnet team. It’s sportsnet is getting better too but they are still trash compared to tsn. If I want any league wide hockey talk, I usually tune into that’s hockey tbh. If it’s just the jets, ken Weibe is a solid source. He doesn’t have as many “ contacts” as insiders but weibe has a very high understanding of the both the business side and the hockey side of things.
You also have to realize that their main job is entertainment. Shows like that’s hockey won’t work without a little exaggeration. There isn’t a whole lot of rumours that happen every day for them to talk 20 mins a day for. Therefore, they need to give “conjecture” with the facts that they state. Most of what they say is conjecture but it’s the fact that they base that off of that tells what’s going on in the league.
For example, above we had them saying “elite prospect”. And elite prospect is perfetti or heinola. That’s it. Therefore, I doubt they meant exactly that when they said elite prospect, probably more a high end prospect (A level). However, elite prospect sounds much more interesting and generated a lot of future discussion
Entertainment is their job, you can’t be mad at them for doing that.
